Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered in 1922. Key details and context:

• The doorway to Tutankhamun’s tomb (KV62) in the Valley of the Kings was opened on November 4, 1922, by the archaeology team led by Howard Carter with financier Lord Carnarvon. This marked the first time the tomb had been entered in modern times.

• The tomb is famously described as being largely intact for a pharaoh’s burial, containing thousands of objects and a remarkable wealth of materials that sparked widespread public interest and media attention. The discovery helped bring global attention to ancient Egypt and King Tutankhamun in particular.
